BNK.x Mode (Bank Mode) - Drum variations
When Ziebane Instruments Apt Series RX-207 is executed for the rst time it goes directly to Bank Mode (BNK.x). Total of 207 rhyth-
mic variations can be acesed here from main section. They are divided into Banks 1 - 9. Each Bank can use up to 4 dierent drum kits
consisting of 2 x Kicks, 2 x Snares, 2 x Hats, which are logically set into 4 loop variations in Main section. For example:
Kick1 Snr1 Snr2Kick2Kick2
Hat1 Hat2 Hat2
These are variations of one loop and are using sounds from same “drum
kit”. Usually the fourth variation (R, I, F, K) is the bridge, but not always.
Next four (T, Z, U, I) are four variations of next loop. They can use same
sounds as loop 1, but by default they use dierent “drum kit”.
Variation 1 Variation 2 Variation 3 Variation 4
Press Play / Pause (Space) to start engine. You should see position indicator moving. Now hit“Q” and when ready, hit “W”. You should
hear dierent variation of same loop. Try “E” and “R”. “R” should be the bridge of loop.
When ready, try “T, Z, U, I”keys, than “A, S, D, F”, and then “G, H, J, K”. These are all drum variations of bank 1 (BNK.1). As you can see,
there are 9 banks (BNK.1 -9) in top row. Each bank contains 4 x 4 drum variations.
Reverse Function (Backspace)
Double your power with reverse function. Hit backspace anytime to read sequences in backward order. 4/8/16 function remains
reserved. You can get interesting results somtimes.
Recording (Ins)
Hit “Ins” when in DRM.x or SMP.x mode to start recording what you play on c row of keyboard (Y, X, C...). Hit “Ins” again to stop
recording. If not satised with last recorded part, make sure recording option is o and press “Ctrl + Ins”. This is Undo function for
recorder.
Recording has no quantinization at this time. Of course, there is always step sequencing option for direct grid input.
Metronom (Del)
Del key functions as metronom switch. When on, 4/4 tick will sound for rhythm. Useful with Recorder function. Sound of metronom
can be changed manually. Look in “Snd” folder for Metro.wav
FPS Mode (Ctrl + Home)
When ready to really rock with Z Instruments RX-207, you may put it into First Person Shooter Mode. This is achieved by pressing Ctrl
+ Home key. RX-207 now enters full screen. This is good, because computer puts main focus on program. Of course, please try run-
ning minimum required software in background for RX-207 to run as it’s supose to. To exit FPS Mode, hit Ctrl + Home again.
In windowed mode, pressing Home changes dimensions of program to it’s default. Btw, Z Instruments RX-207 is totally resizable to
t any situation.

Detailed Overview
APT Series RX-207 Realtime Remixer
BNK.x Mode / Root Note
Any Apred material made with SY sounds can be easily shifted or lowered while in Bank mode (BNK.1 - BNK.9). This goes for pre-
dened arps, aswell as user generated sequences. This is achived with Ctrl key held down and one of the following keys pressed.
1. Ctrl + a root C
2. Ctrl + w root Cis
3. Ctrl + s root D
4. Ctrl + e root Dis
5. Ctrl + d root E
6. Ctrl + f root F
7. Ctrl + t root Fis
8. Ctrl + g root G
9. Ctrl + z root Gis
10. Ctrl + h root A
11. Ctrl + u root Ais
12. Ctrl + j root B
13. Ctrl + k root C
When climbing trough note lader, higher notes will use next octave sounds (1_SY_3x.wav). These are not avilable for input directly,
but you can reorganize them manualy or with APT OG-00x.
Root Note function can be great for even more variation. Play punk, blues, or other established notes easily with ARP sequences. It
is sometimes reered as “Transpose”on some Grooveboxes.
BNK.x Mode / Chord Manager
Like Root Note Function, any Apred material made with SY sounds can be further modied with Chord Manager while in Bank mode
(BNK.1 - BNK.9). This goes for predened arps, aswell as user generated sequences. This is achived with Ctrl key held down .
Diagram shows that “Dis” replaces “E” in certain chords. When 4 notes chords are used, “Ais” or “B” replaces next octave “C”. Again,
when climbing trough note lader, higher notes will use next octave sounds (1_SY_3x.wav). These are not avilable for input directly,
but you can reorganize them manualy or with APT OG-00x.
Chord Manager function can be great for easy transition betwen chord rules. It is also great for nding your guitarist before he nds
you. In a musical sense. When in a band.
1. Ctrl + Alpha 1 Chord to C (C Mayor) C E G
2. Ctrl + Alpha 2 Chord to Cm (C Minor) C Dis G
3. Ctrl + Alpha 3 Chord to C7 (C Seventh) C E G Ais
4. Ctrl + Alpha 4 Chord to Cm7 (C Minor Seventh) C Dis G Ais
5. Ctrl + Alpha 5 Chord to Cmay7 (C Mayor Seventh) C E G B
6. Ctrl + Alpha 6 Chord to Caug (C Agumented) tba
7. Ctrl + Alpha 7 Chord to Cdim (C Dimished) tba
BNK.x Mode / Alternate ARP
When playing with predened ARPs, reversed ARP of each can be reached with a help of Ctrl key. This does not apply to user ARPs.
Each bank (BNK.1 - BNK.9) contains 6 variations of Arps.
You can double that if you press any of ARP keys while
holding Ctrl. Once selected,“reversed” ARP wil continue
to play instead of one without Ctrl. This adds further
variation possibilities. Please take a note, each ARP has
been carefully crafted, and then reversed to allow this.
BNK.x Mode / Kill ARP
If you do not like ARP and would like to take it out, you can do this with Kill ARP Function
while in Bank Mode. This will not aect other groups of sounds (Kicks, Snares, Hats, Fx...).
Warning. Once executed, you can’t get back user made ARP sequence if pre-
viously not Saved / Quicksaved.

Play / Pause

Programing User Arpeggios / Bass Lines
Hit Play / Pause (Space) and navigate to Sample Mode (SMP.x) with
Numeric 0. Hold down “Ctrl” and press “A” key. C note of Arp Bank
should be heard. Note is now selected and ready for input into Fac-
tory Sequencer.
Now release “Ctrl” and press “Q”. “Q” represents rst step on Factory
Sequencer. Every time loop starts over from step 1, C note will play.
Press“W”, “E” and “R” (step 2, 3 and 4). Note C should play four times.
Hold “Ctrl” and press “E”. Note Dis is now selected. Release “Ctrl” and
press “T”, “Z”, “U”and “I”(steps 5, 6, 7 and 8). Basic Sequence is heard,
but not yet nished.
Now hold “Ctrl” and press ”G”. Note G is selected. Release “Ctrl” and
hit “A”, “S”, “D”, “G”, “J” (steps 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15). Note G is now on
steps 9 and after.
But melody sounds a bit weird. This is because“Ctrl” combinations in
Sample Mode (SMP.x) are also used for climbing the note ladder. It’s
a feature, not a bug.
So hold “Ctrl” again and put melody to place with “A” key. Root note
is now C as intended.
SY sounds from RX-207 Sound Bank
are meant as bass line or other melo-
dy instrument (SY stands for synth).
They are used in Arp Section (row C) in
Bank Mode (BNK.x). Their transpose is
trough 2 + octaves (C 2 to C 4) and are
interchangeable with Apt SY-072.This is
how sequences are programmed.
Arpeggios (and also Samples) can be muted with “Num.5” key. “Ctrl” + “Num.5” is used to
delete Arps (and also Samples).
To delete only Arpeggios, navigate to Bank Mode (BNK.x) and do “Ctrl” + “M” combination.
For further alternation of sequence please read page 07, Root note.
Arpeggios / Bass Lines Alternations
This option is only available in Bank Mode (BNK.x) and Sample Mode (SMP.x). Once pattern is playing, you can activate it by pressing
“M” key. Now Oneshot sample is placed on rst step of pattern and will play when pattern starts from beginning next time. After
Oneshot is played, it will be destroyed. So it only plays once, hence the name.
There are 9 dierent Oneshot sample slots available, one for each Bank and can be used for Crashes or Synth eects. These samples
can be a bit longer.
Oneshot Function / M
When something goes wrong with engine itself, like when you try to load User Pattern
when the destination le is not there (it really should not be necessary to use it anytime,
but one never knows), you do “Ctrl” + “F4” combination. RX-207 then resets everything
and loads Init Pattern (RX-207_000). This way, you don’t have to close program and start it
again, so 15 seconds of life are spared..
* Also useful when you want to exit PRO MODE.
Panic? Panic! / Ctrl + F2
If mouse cursor is placed over Z Instruments Logo, Turntable function starts to emulate real turntable. In this mode, pitch is shifted,
lowered along with tempo. You will know its activated by logo spining. Following keys emulate turntable controls:
Mouse over Z Instruments Logo + NumAdd / NumSub = Turntable speed adjust in % (no visual on LED)
Mouse over Z Instruments Logo + Space = Emulates Stop button on turntable, so pitch / tempo will gradualy descent to full stop
Turntable Function (ZOMG TRNTBL) / Mouse over Z Instruments Logo
